If you have many cats using the litter box, or a cat that pees excessively, it probably won’t make it the full 30 days. Typically crystal (silica) cat litters are non-clumping litters, but certain varieties have additives that give them the ability to clump. In general, the clumping silica litters don’t work as well as non-clumping versions. Is silica gel litter safe for cats? Because the particles in these litters are typically larger, there’s very little dust that’s produced while handling and neither you nor your cat will really be able to inhale it. This is great for people or pets with asthma or allergies, as clay litters are notorious for being extremely dusty. Even if you have no respiratory issues, the dust is annoying to inhale. Are silica crystal litters a good environmentally friendly alternative?

In addition, the litter will also start to smell like urine. You’ll need to dump it out and clean out the bottom thoroughly before adding fresh litter. Is silica litter expensive?For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. If you examine the cost per pound of silica gel litters vs clay (both clumping and non-clumping versions) it appears significantly more expensive.

Introducing Petsentials Super Clumping Cat Litter with Activated Carbon - a revolutionary solution that combines natural Bentonite clay with the power of activated carbon to elevate your cat's litter experience. Power of Microscopic Pores: The microscopic pores within the activated carbon create an astonishingly large surface area. In fact, a mere 3 grams of activated carbon offers an absorption surface equivalent to a football pitch, totaling 2500 square meters. This unique characteristic ensures exceptional odour control and liquid absorption.

Cat litter is absorbent filler for the box where your cat does its business. It’s made of various materials, sometimes formulated with special ingredients to help absorb odor from cat urine and feces. What Type of Cat Litter Should I Buy? The bottom line is silica gel litter is better than clay, but not the most environmentally friendly option if that is what you’re looking for. Alternatives such as wood pellet litter are better due to their ability to break down easily and be composted. How to use crystal cat litters

But keep in mind that 8 lbs of silica litter by volume would look more like around 12-13 lbs of clay, plus it’s not necessary to use as much silica litter in the litter box (the box only needs to be 2 inches deep, vs. the recommended 3-4 inches with clay).

Fresh Step Crystals or the famous health monitoring Pretty Litter are examples of litter made out of this material. Clumping vs. non-clumping silica litter the volume of pee your cat produces (cats with diabetes can pee excessively, severely shortening the litter lifespan) Recycled paper cat litter: Those looking for a greener and more sustainable litter option may consider recycled paper litter, created from recycled newspapers. Recycled paper litter comes in granule or pellet form. Granule litter may be easier on your cat’s paws, while pellet litter tends to bring up less dust. Though good for the environment, recycled paper cat litter can be pricy.They’re also great for cat owners (and cats) with asthma and they produce virtually no dust at all. However, sometimes the litter can start to break down early with heavy use and create dust. Silica litter disadvantages It’s arguable that crystal litters are a better option because people are using less of it, and dumping it out less frequently – therefore, less of it ends up in landfills. Fine-Grained Excellence: Bentonite clay's fine-grained structure is tailor-made for cat litter. It excels at absorbing liquids and odours, rapidly forming sturdy clumps that are easy for owners to scoop out. This results in minimal product wastage and keeps the litter box consistently fresh and clean for the next use.

Veterinary offices: Depending on your veterinarian, their office may sell cat litter. While this can be convenient, especially after an appointment, variety will likely be limited and the cat litter may be more expensive than in-store or online. This type of litter is able to be used for quite a while (up to a month) before needing to be dumped out since after the silica gel crystals get filled with moisture, absorb smells, and evaporate, they’re able to continually repeat that process. Scoop it directly into the trash or a special litter waste-collecting bin. The latter may be more convenient for temporarily storing cat litter waste until the bin is full, rather than putting it into a main trash can with each scoop. Using this type of litter is probably different from what you’re used to. Instead of scooping clumps out, you only need to scoop out the poop. But unlike other non-clumping litters, the urine is actually absorbed by the litter, so you don’t have to change it out very frequently. Silica gel cat litter: This is made of tiny beads of sodium silicate sand, a porous material that allows it to absorb liquid. This kind a great for those sensitive to clay litter dust, although it tends to be more expensive.
